Darby, I in the Steelton Trust building, through C. S. Davis, chairman of the parks and playgrounds committee, and the lead er in the playgrounds movement in the borough. Mr. Davis told the league of an in terview he had with General Manager Bent yesterday afternoon, during •which the new head of the big steel plant assured him of his interest in the recreation movement and every MOTHERS AND WIVES Of this country—those who after months and even years of suffering, have been restored to health and strength by that good old-fashioned root and herb remedy, Lydia R. Pink liam's Vegetable Compound,—are the ones who have spread the good news of health restored, until to-day there is hardly a town so small that the women who suffer from female ail ments do not depend upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore health. TUESDAY EVENING, other movement for the advancement! of Steelton. The steel company's offer of S6OO makes available a fund of $1,500 for playgrounds work during the coming i summer. Of this sum S7OO was appro | priated by the borough council and j $ 100 each by the Municipal League and the Steelton Civic Club. 1-Vame Model Ordinance Just how this fund will be expended and how the big mass of detail work incident to the establishment of a playgrounds system will be taken care ' of is the problem now facing the bor- \ ough authorities and the civic organi zations back of the recreation move-1 ment. To solve this problem the Municipal League at its meeting last evening en dorsed the commission idea and dis cussed a model ordinance creating a parks and playgrounds commission to handle the recreation in Steelton. and will submit the measure to the bor ough council at. its meeting Monaay, evening. This ordinance calls for appoint ment of a commission of five men. three of whom shall be the members of the present Steelton Shade Tree Commission which succeeded in es tablishing the present beautiful system i of parks in Harrisburg and in organiz-, ing the playgrounds system. The|, members will serve without pav and! will work under the direction of the! borough council so far as the spend-! ing of money or the framing of rules' for the government of the recreation:, facilities, are concerned, j Like the Water Board, wliicb has 1 proven so efficient in Steelton, this commission would be composed of men ! who are connected with the borough government in no other way. They would receive no pay for their work, j Would Hell) Council Since the proposed commission will relieve council of a mass of detail work and yet not curtail its authority in any way it is believed that the bor ough fathers will show their willing ' ness to get behind the recreation j . movement at their next meeting by suspending their rules and passing the measure finally. By doing this they «ill assure the borough an ade- j quate system of playgrounds within a few weeks and will enable the com mission to get busy at once in obtain ing a competent playgrounds super- 1 visor and the local instructors for each playground. Already the Steelton School Board has given assurances that the school! , playgrounds may be used in establish-, ing the proposed playgrounds system and the Pennsylvania Steel Company i will permit use of the plot of ground ial Pront street and Angle avenue, i C". S. Davis, chairman of the parks and playgrounds committee of the j Municipal League, has already been' In close touch with a number of appli cants for the position of plavgrounds ; 'instructor and a selection will be made I L within a short lime. ( EARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WANT 500 MEN TO WORK ON STATE FAIR SITE [Continued from First Page] W. J. STEWART a large number of prominent | 'men have taken up the State Katrl project, expressed himself to-day as being well plearied with the prospects. 1 Said he: "When I started out to j organize the Keystone State Fair and ! Industrial Exposition it seemed to be • a one-man concern. But how differ- 1 ent now. The work is being done l»y : j people all over the State; there is an ! atmosphere of appreciation and ' loyalty in every section." Success After I'p-Hlll Fight Mr. Stewart tells an interesting story of the up-hill fight he made be fore he got the company on its feet' and in position to so forward as j rapidly as It has in the past few 1 months. Early in November, 1913, air. Stew-! art instituted a thorough search throughout the State for the most logical State fair location one that could be easily reached by all rail roads, and as near the center ofi population as possible. The search Unfitly narrowed down to Cumberland and Dauphin counties, and it was al this time that Mr. Stewart became ac quainted with Mr. K:;nkel, president of the Mechanics Trust Company and also owner of the Kunkel building. I Mr. Kunkel was the owner of a beauti ful farm of 199 acres. Just outside of Hnrrisburg. at that time leased by H. i J. Heinz. This proved to be an ideal location, but, being too small, the two adjoining farms were purchased to complete the desired plot, making a' total of 4 10 acres, and conceded to be one of the most magnlficant sites in I ! the entire State. j <»n Aoril 20, 1914. the Keystone! I State fair and industrial Exposition, { APRIL 25, 1916. f with a capitalization of $1,500,000 se : cured its charter, after which Mr. : Stewart began a campaign which few | men would care to undertake that |of organizing for the distribution of stock, and also looking after the plans ! and construction of the State fair buildings and the two-mile speedway. Mr. Stewart realized more than any | one else that the future held for him no idle moments. He at once resumed : his thousands of miles of travel, j Wherever Mr. Stew; went he was ' welcomed and the result is there has not only been established a complete | chain of organizations working ■ throughout the State, but the people ! themselves are voluntarily extending courtesies and financial support. Appreciating the fact that Pennsyl vania has long wanted a State fair, and that nothing short of perfectly designed buildings and a master speedway would meet with the ap proval of the people. Mr. Stewart ex tend ?d his travels into other States, visitinc fii oh noted Stale fair cities :<s Springfield, Illinois; Des .Moines, Iowa; Columbus, Ohio; Syracuse, N. | T.—gathering valuable data and con sulting with loading engineers. Dur ing one of these Investigation tours | Mr. Stewart's attention was attracted ! to the great speedway in Chicago, and learned that it was designed by Gra ' ham. Burnham & Company. the noted ' speedway and architectural experts, whose nationally known achievements ; stand as monuments to their knowl i edge and experience. In Mr. Stewart's endeavors there lbave been days that seemed to him ] like days of magic. One of these | days was when he walked into th« I offices of Graham, Burnham & Com i pany, in Chicago, June 18, 1915, anc ' from that day the Keystone State Fail has been growing rapidly. Then came the contract for plans and next came an association with : James A. Bennett, senior member ol the Bennett & Randall Company, ol , : Greensburg, widely known for theii success in railroad construction, bridge i building and excavation work, tt | whom the contract has been let foi j the grading and sewerage system j Bennett & Randall are pushing end of the work to rapid completion . and in a very short time active work | will be started on the speedway itself A second steam shovel arrived tr day. Another feature Mr. Stewart haf perfected Is the establishment In every county of a clearinghouse. Bv thi? system all those devoting time in thf Interest of the Keystone State Fair [report to the clearinghouse in theii i i respective counties. For instance in Westmoreland county, Mr. Stewart ha» been fortunate In securing Bair & ; 1-ane, among the leading insurance i agencies In the State, to whom all those working In Westmoreland coun ty in the interest of the Keystone State Fair will report. Scores of share holders from all over the State will be here for the annual meeting on Saturday, May 6.
